The Skokie Juneteenth National Independence Day celebration was held on the grounds of the Skokie Park District Community Center in the 4700 block of Oakton Street on June 15 and was billed as a free day filled with live entertainment, keynote speakers, a cultural exhibition, food, vendors, fun and games, said Brian Williams, co-chair of the celebration.
“It’s a fun atmosphere,” he said. “Skokie’s really diverse and I think the importance of that diversity is to also identify important events and celebrations that take place for every culture, racial and ethnic identity that’s here.”
